CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS
During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
متن کاملAcute haemodynamic and metabolic effects of felodipine in congestive heart failure.
Felodipine is a new calcium antagonist with a high degree of vascular selectivity. To examine its potential value as an afterload reducing agent in congestive heart failure 11 patients were studied. Substantial increments in cardiac index were associated with a fall in systemic vascular resistance. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure was also significantly reduced. Although left ventricular...
متن کاملEffects of vasodilator treatment with felodipine on haemodynamic responses to treadmill exercise in congestive heart failure.
Treatment with vasodilators in heart failure has not always produced a useful improvement in the haemodynamic responses to exercise, and in many cases early drug tolerance has further limited the potential of this type of treatment. In a study to evaluate the efficacy of felodipine, a new calcium antagonist with selective vasodilator properties, in the management of congestive heart failure 10 ...
متن کاملPrecipitating factors of congestive heart failure in admitted patients of Fatemieh Hospital in Semnan, Iran
Introduction: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a pathophysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a commensurate rate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues and/or allows it to do so only from an abnormally elevated diastolic volume. In this study, the prevalence of precipitating factors of CHF in Semna...
متن کاملCongestive Heart Failure
The heart is composed of two independent pumping systems, one on the left side and one on the right. The right chamber, or right atrium, of the heart relaxes and expands to fill with blood that has returned from the body. (This relaxed action causes diastolic pressure, recorded as the second and lower number when measuring blood pressure). The used blood is poor in oxygen and rich in carbon dio...
